Our School Holiday Enrichment Programme (SHEP), under the branding ‘Food and Fun’, is a school-based scheme that provides healthy meals, food and nutrition education, physical activity and enrichment sessions to learners in areas of socio-economic disadvantage during the school summer holidays.  It is administered by the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA).

In 2025 to 2026, we provided £5.85million to support SHEP.
